Iowa Legislator Wants Semi Auto Weapons Confiscated
January 9th, 2013Via: Daily Times Herald:
State Rep. Dan Muhlbauer, D-Manilla, says Iowa lawmakers should ban semi-automatic guns and “start taking them” from owners who refuse to surrender any illegal firearms through a buy-back program.
In an interview, a fiery Muhlbauer said it is time to act with “radical changes” on gun laws and other issues to protect schoolchildren from shooting sprees like the one last week in Newtown, Conn.
“We cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out here, the semi-automatics and all of them,” Muhlbauer said. “We can’t have those running around out here. Those are not hunting weapons.”
He added, “We should ban those in Iowa.”
Muhlbauer, who did not list the specific weapons he wants outlawed in The Daily Times Herald interview, said he would like to see the ban implemented in a retroactive fashion.
“Even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them,” Muhlbauer said. “We can’t have those out there. Because if they’re out there they’re just going to get circulated around to the wrong people. Those guns should not be in the public’s hands. There are just too many guns.”
Wow, where did this nutjob come from? Oh yeah, I.O.W.A. (Idiots Out Wandering Around) I’m sure that will be a popular idea down there in Hog Heaven. What would Jesus shoot?
WWJS? Probably crooked bankers: They ignored the first couple temple cleansings with a scourge already.
These idiots who keep inferring that the second amendment bestows hunting rights obviously haven’t read it. It bestows nothing, rather, it limits government. See the entire preamble to the bill of rights.
If the second amendment IS about hunting, it must be exclusively for congress as they are the only people stupid enough to need a malitia to hunt deer.
